A crane vessel, crane ship or floating crane is a ship with a crane specialized in lifting heavy loads. The largest crane vessels are used for offshore construction. Conventional monohulls are used, but the largest crane vessels are often catamaran or semi-submersible types as they have increased stability. On a sheerleg crane, the crane is fixed and cannot rotate, and the vessel therefore is maneuvered to place loads.
Monohull crane vessel have the advantage of a higher transit speed, but the maximum lifting capacity is achieved on semi-submersible crane vessels.
